I've found the Geoff Boycott - Tony Greig double act quite amusing this series. I couldn't believe it when I heard they actually get on with each other. Richie Benaud is a legend. From what I can recall, Bill Lawry is extremely annoying, favouring every Victorian in his commentary. No-one's quite as annoying as Mark Nicholas though.

Ian Bishop is a very good summariser, actually Michael Slater's not too bad either. And Geoffery Lawson has been excellent, not at all what I expected from him! Ian Smith used to be OK, too.

Michael Holding isn't the best commentator in the world but he just sounds so cool, like he's sat there with a joint, chilling out watching some cricket. He's a living legend so nothing bad can be said about the man - even though he did play for Derbyshire!

Most of the South African commentators are rubbish, though some of them do come up with interesting stuff every now and then.

Dont like tony grieg - only gets excited at an england wicket, and seems to be very disappointed with any runs scored for england.

Yes, South African commentators are quite useless. Mike Haysman, typical example. Also used to play for Queensland; could have learnt his trade there as well...Jon Davison, the Aussie playing for Canada, hit about eight sixes in his knock of 111 off about 60 balls in the World Cup. Every time it went for six, there was a Haysman "Ohh that's half a dozen more", "He's clubbed it for another half dozen". Mike mustn't have thought the game would've been too interesting in the morning; thus he should attempt to differentiate his match and buying eggs at the supermarket in the morning.

PS: During C4's coverage at Edgbaston, the Pietersen dubious dismissal was talked about between Nicholas and Greig, until Nicholas said "I think it's quite irrelevant now", then Greigy, bewildered, replied with "Irrelevant?!?! Pietersen's dismissal?!?!?", then he turned off his mic and uttered what seemed to be in the region of "You d---head". Course, it wasn't made to be an issue as that very ball the bell tolled for Ian Bell.

PPS: Luv the new Stuey Griffin avatar RBLC.

LOL!! Hillarious; have seasons 1-4 on DVD actually.

Too many quotes. Will post here when I get some more. Say, RBLC, ever done the family guy drinking night?

Meg: I can't believe I fell in love with Neil!
Lois: I can't believe I did that to Neil!
Peter: I still can't believe it's not butter!

Chris: Can I go now? Stewie's gonna help me with my math homework.
Lois: Chris...he can't help you with your homework, he's just a baby!
Stewie: And I guess you're a Rhodes Scholar yourself. Where did you graduate from again, the University of DUH?!?!?
Max Weinstein:I'll help you with your homework son.
Peter: My God!!! Is there nothing you people can't do, except you know... manual labor???
Lois: What a horrible thing to say! They built the pyramids!
